I take it having this game against the Victory means the team Wellington game won't be happening can anyone confirm
The last time Krishna got an A-League penalty for us was against Victory & we lost 6-1

From a Nix Facebook group. Wellington Phoenix reserves are playing a pre-season friendly against Team Wellington tomorrow Saturday 6th October. Kickoff is at 1pm at Martin Luckie Park.
These closed shop preseason games do very little for supporters. It seems the clubs only tell you the score and nothing else. After all we live in this age of social media??

Okay, but the last Krishna penalty we got was against Sydney FC last week.
3-1 win to us. Krishna hattrick

PRE-SEASON | Full time & the #Nix take the win 3 goals to 1 after a solid team effort & a hat-trick to @RoyKrishna21 against a full strength @gomvfc side.
Strong, defensive performance with keeper, Kurto, only required to make one save.
Without pics/replay it feels like FAKE NEWS :)
But it is good to hear we are playing against A-league teams that are expected to occupy the pointy end of the table and being competitive!
Putting my complaining aside, Twitter has just given me the confidence to start expanding the Nix trophy cabinet.
time for him to cement his status as a star and Nix legend. Hopefully there will be support for him this season
Really happy we are managing to squeeze in competitive pre season games now, as our pre season has been mostly weak. I think getting a win is important for the squads mindset going into the season too.
Obviously we dont really know the circumstances,but it sounds like a promising performance.

Krishna is God! .... Oops, that might not be approved by some.
Maybe we aren't so desperate for an overseas striker.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

line ups please.... grain of salt until. I see who matched up against who.
Heard Sail, Burns and Lowry didn't play.
So a guess it went
Kurto
Taylor Dura Fox
Fenton Doyle/Cacahe
Kopy/Rufer
Singh Butters
Krishna. Williams
Phoenix have said victory were at full strength. The one gif of the game has Honda, Raúl Baena, Troisi and I think its Donachie playing in the first half. Article says Thomas and Toivonen started. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/honda-scores-f...
Wellington Phoenix side from their behind-closed-doors 3-1 pre-season win over Melbourne Victory yesterday...

Kurto, Fenton, Taylor, Durante, Doyle, Cacace, Rufer, Nichols, Williams, Singh, Krishna.
Subs: Sosa Pena, Fox, Burns, Elliot, Sail.
Maybe this:
Kurto
Taylor Dura Doyle
Fenton Cacace
Rufer
Nicols Singh
Krishna Williams
'Good defensive effort' apparently but that's quite an attack-minded eleven. Wonder how Rufer played.
No Kopa.... injured?

That's not a bad write up.

Rufer is a AM... just said he'd play there if needed last year in a bid to get more minutes... personally I think that role suits him better.
Maybe this:
Kurto
Taylor Dura Doyle
Fenton Cacace
Rufer
Nicols Singh
Krishna Williams

Yep, their 11 highest value players according to Transfermarkt.
MV 11: 10.98m
Nix 11: 3.825m
Shaky preseason for MV - also losing to Apia 3-2, and drawing 1-1 with Brisbane.
Yes sounds like an impressive effort to hold out Melbourne.
Sosa Pena = Armando 'I'm Mandi, trial me' Sosa Pena
Missing: Kopa, Lowry, Yoo, Burgess, Tratt.
Only one starting recognised DM - Rufer.
Theories on Kopa?

I'm told he's injured. Tratt is no longer in the frame.

They lost 2-0 to CCM at a similar time last pre season which seemed to turn out OK

No Tratt - surprising.
Unless he is planning on promoting a lot of youth, where are the rest of the players coming from?

Think I see where they went wrong - no goalkeeper

Damning indictment on our lack of goal scoring options that Krishna was the only one able to score vs no keeper.
